Le thé (Tea)
1962
A serene composition rendered in ink and colour on silk, this work by Vietnamese artist Mai Trung Thứ depicts the quiet ritual of tea drinking with elegant simplicity. The luminous silk ground lends the scene a soft, ethereal warmth, while the artist's refined brushwork reflects a harmonious blend of traditional Vietnamese sensibility and French modernist influence. Graceful figures and delicate tonal washes evoke a mood of gentle contemplation and intimate domestic calm.
